Draining the swamp

[Denny Crane]

Of course Trump's business are going to continue doing what they do while he's president.

That's not emoluments. Even if they raise prices.

What would be emoluments is if some unusual activity goes on to hide some sort of bribe; a bribe to effect some sort of favorable policy. Or if he profited off sales from the white house gift shop.

a bribe to effect some sort of favorable policy

like giving 9 of the biggest lobbyists in DC cabinet positions?

Nope.

Getting paid for speeches while president would do.

Good thing when the swamp capitulates.

And in further news, today the head of the Office of Government Ethics resigned, saying, and I'm paraphrasing here, "this administration has no interest in ethics".

I know who isn't President, but I wonder if you realize that the candidate you claim to have wanted also isn't President.


Ooooh wait....the guy actually wanted to be President, defend at the drop of a hat and constantly sing the praises of won.




(see what I did there?)

Yes. My candidate didn’t win. I’m not throwing a hissy fit over it. Subtle difference? (Not at all).

Of course.

Of course.

Let Me know the next time you are in Roseburg. I'll meet you at Robert's Mountain.


Joke, of course.

 

[MarAzul]

Joke, of course.

It might be awhile, I am in the Delta now.
Sorry but I don't get the joke. Don't know about Robert's Mountain.

Take your time. Robert's Mountain is a pass on I5 just south of Roseburg. The joke goes back to an old post from an old poster who threatened to fight anyone at Mt Tabor in Portland. Which poster was that? @SlyPokerDog
